Ticked off! @ leaf blowers, yelling in public

April 5, 2011|By Ticked Off!, Diversions

•I am ticked off that drivers turning west onto East Colonial, from Bonneville Road and Lake Pickett, do not even come close to stopping before turning right. The law says when the light is red you come to a complete stop before turning right.

•Now lawmakers are pulling the red light cameras because they invade the privacy of motorists. Words fail me at the stupidity of these people. The same people allow motorcyclists to ride without helmets.

•When an elderly woman can blow her leaves and pick them up, surely the older man in the neighborhood can take care of his leaves, rather than blowing into the drainage area or across the street.

•I am ticked off that common sense seems to have become extinct. What moron decided that a kindergartener destroyed school property by picking a flower? It'll grow back.

•Is it just me or are all news stations calling everything they report, "Breaking News?" I am ticked off because it is not current news.

•I am totally ticked off that people keep calling us a democracy when we actually are a republic.

•I'm ticked off at the man yelling at us in the restaurant. We had no idea who you were or we would have challenged some of the stupid stuff you were saying. After we left we realized that you knew someone we tried to work with. We dropped you because we thought you both were kooks.

The flip side

•Thanks to "C" for taking the late fee off my water bill.

•Thanks to "M" is his blue pickup who helped me on Doyle Road in Deltona.

•Thanks to the person with the sharp eyes and good heart who found my keys in the parking lot at a local restaurant on Bumby and returned them to the manager who kept them for me.

•To the woman in East Orlando who found my purse in a shopping cart: Thank you very much for returning it.
